Serves 10

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 jar Old English Cheddar Cheese Spread, at room temperature
1 can (6 ounces) crabmeat, drained and picked over for shells
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
6 English muffins, split in half
1. In a bowl, combine the butter with cheese spread. Add the crabmeat, garlic, and seasoned salt.

2. Spread onto muffin halves, and freeze for at least a half hour.

3. Remove from freezer, score each muffin with a sharp knife to make 6 wedges.

4. Turn on the broiler. Set the muffins on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until golden and bubbly. Remove from oven and let the muffins firm up for a few minutes. Cut along the marks into wedges. Adapted from Marianne Tortola
